Battery issue still exists despite apple giving me a new 4s

As some of you have read my last post, I had a brand new 4s that was getting 2.5 to max 3.0 hours of battery time.  Battery draw was 40 percent per hour. Yes, I tried ALL the suggestions, all of them. At the end, I had everything turned off from loc services to Siri to cloud to Bluetooth and brightness at 25 percent.  nothing worked.  I took the phone today to the apple store, feeling despite all the other complaints mine was just too weird and it HAD to be a hardware issue.  The apple store employee checked the diagnostics, nothng wrong with battery or hardware.  They gave me a brand new 4s, 32 gb.  I was advised to set up as NEW, not to download the 5.01 and to only synch the apps that I used most.  They agreed that they felt it was a software problem, and all day long they see it, although my problem was the most serious they had seen.  Came home, set up as new.  Synched about 35 of the 80 apps I had in iTunes.  THE RESULT only marginally better. I am now getting 4.0 hours of time, WITH Siri off, location off, Bluetooth off.  2.5 to 4.0 hours is a big increase BUT COME ON APPLE. P L E A S E fix this the problem ASAP.  Apple store employee advised adding ONE APP at a time and seeing if the battery wears down quickly.  But is that rational?  It would take me 3 weeks to do that!!!!!
BOTTOM LINE, 4S BATTERY DRAW IS A REAL ISSUE, AND A CRISIS FOR ME. I HOPE APPLE IS READING, LISTENING, DOING SOMETHING
FYI IOS5 on my iPad is no problem at all. 

Man those apple guys are stupid sometimes. I went to an Apple geninus bar and they told me stuff I already knew... Ya we are all on the same boat here it's a software issue and my iphone 4 battery life is pathetic ever since 5.0 !!!! and 5.0.1 made it worst. For some people the fix worked though so I am guessing 50/50 would make sense.

  • Adding Custom Labels Missing for Contact Numbers After Upgrading to iOS 8.0 and issue still exists on iOS 8.1

    I noticed that after upgrading to iOS 8.0 on my iPhone 5s, adding custom labels for contact numbers got removed. It still exists on iOS 8.1 as well. Is there someone who is facing a similar issue or can someone help me how to get that back. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hi Yugendra,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    I have good news. You can still choose a custom label in Contacts on iOS 8. The option should be below "Other" in the list of labels when editing a contact. This information is found in the iOS 8 user guide:
    Contacts at a glance - iPhone
    Change a label. If a field has the wrong label, such as Home instead of Work, tap Edit. Then tap the label and choose one from the list, or tap Add Custom Label to create one of your own.
    Best Regards,
    Jeremy

  • Battery Issue still not fixed

    This is my first iPhone.  I like the phone but the battery issue is not resolved.  I downloaded the software fix and it did not fix it.  In fact it might have made it worse!  I have to keep everything turned off all the time or the battery is used up in a few hours.  What good is having the phone if you can't have anything turned on.  I see no difference in the battery life even with the software update.  I don't mind charging it each night, had to do that with the Blackberry too but I don't want it going dead mid day when I have barely used it.  Has anyone found a way to keep the battery at a decent level all day?

    why don't you search the forum before asking a question that's been asked and answered over and over and over and over again?
    There are a multitude of postings with excellent suggestions on how to maximize your battery life.

  • Finder issues still exist in 10.9.2

    Whenever I updated to 10.9.1, I had issues in Photoshop and other programs when I tried to open files from within them Finder would take about 30 secs to populate the list of files on my computer. 10.9.2 fixed that but now I'm having a different Finder problem. When I use Flash builder and import a project, it imports the first one fine but when i go to import a second project, I hit Browse to find the file I need and when it pops up it shows me an empty Documents folder which is not empty on my file system and I switch to Desktop, it populates my finder with the files on my desktop and when I go to select the project, the dialog box for Finder closes but my file doesn't load into Flash Builder so I can't import it. If I close Flash Builder and try again it will let me import one project and then will not let me load in a second one.
    I'm using a late 2011 MacBook Air
    Here's a list of what I've done to try to fix it:
    - Uninstall Flash Builder, reinstall Flash Builder
    - Uninstall Creative Suite, reinstall Creative Suite
    - Delete Harddrive contents and reinstall OSX Mavericks
    - Delete Harddrive contents and install OSX Mountain Lion, this fixed it and I had no problems using Flash Builder which is why it's something specific to Mavericks
    - Updated from Mountain Lion to Mavericks and tried again but the problem still persisted
    - I tried it on a MacBook Pro I have and it works fine

    Sometimes this issue is caused by a misconfiguration or incompatibility of the Exchange server, or perhaps by a bug in Mail. If so, you won't be able to resolve it yourself. The fact that your iOS devices may be working well with the same account isn't relevant, because iOS uses a completely different protocol (ActiveSync) to communicate with Exchange servers. By default, OS X Mail uses the EWS protocol.
    Each of the following steps has been reported to help, at least temporarily, in some cases (not all):
    1. Back up all data. Open the Internet Accounts pane in System Preferences and check to make sure you don't have duplicate Exchange accounts. If you do, delete all but one of the duplicates. If there are no duplicates, delete the account and recreate it with the same settings.
    2. Rebuild the affected mailbox.
    3. Reindex messages.
    4. Follow the instructions in this support article to disable autodiscovery. You may need to get configuration details from the server administrator.
    5. In the Keychain Access application, delete the password item for the account. The next time Mail tries to access the account, you'll be prompted for the password. Check the box to save it in the Keychain.
    6. If you've created subfolders of the Exchange inbox, log in to the server through its web interface, move the messages out, and remove the subfolders. The inbox should have no subfolders.
    7. Synchronize with the server using IMAP rather than EWS. This is only possible if IMAP is enabled on the server.
    8. Consider using Outlook instead of Mail to access your Exchange mail. It uses yet another proprietary protocol (MAPI) that isn't available to other mail clients.

  • 701 Belle FP2 battery issue again

    Phone lasted at least two days on FP1.  Realizing it might need to resync battery after FP2 but it's gone through five full cycles now and still won't last 24 hours.
    Anyone else experiencing this?

    Battery issue still hasn't gone away.  Phone will not last one full day even with minimal use.  Seriously, I talk less than 20 minutes a day and otherwise do texting.  There is no email syncing or any other background apps.  Rarely I'll use maps and only briefly.  Always wake up to a dead phone...not sure at what time during the night it dies.
    Surprisingly it did last over four days in airplane mode though.

  • Z1 battery issue?

    Hi all,  This happened: After I picked up my phone in the morning (from charger), it had turned itself of during the night. After using it a while it started rebooting itself. This occures now very often. This happens with a lot of battery % left. Sometimes it restarts, and sometimes it just stops. When it stops I have to put the charger in to restart it, even it the battery seems to be fully charged. Can be an issue when I`m not at home.   I have notised that the battery % varies sometimes. It can co from 4 - 100 % in minutes while connected to the charger (Sony charger) I have tried this.- VolumeUP/Home button.- Red button in Sim slot.- PCC resetting The phone was upgraded to Lollipop about one month before this occured. Have been working fine after the upgrade.  Can this be an battery issue?  Kristian

    This was my sollution: Ordered a new battery on Ebay. Installed and my phone is itself again. The strange thing was that the problems that I experienced seemed like a software issue when I read about simmular problems here on the forum. Hopes this can help others as well. K

    Hi DaVince Vince,
    I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your iPhone. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear what issues you were having that led up to the attempted Erase All, and/or exactly what behavior you are seeing now (restarting, not responding at all, etc). If you are seeing an Apple Logo screen and your iPhone does not appear to be starting correctly, you may find the following articles helpful:
    If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    Regards,
    - Brenden

  • Serious battery issues, apple support waste of time and money!

    My Mac Book Pro 17" has a serious battery issue it holds a charge for a hour or less, and does not always charge. Telephone apple support and all they say is take it to one of there shops to get it tested that will cost me about £40 in train fare and take a day at least. Ive had the Mac since September 2011 i never started using it until late December 2011. A 3 year warranty for what!!!!! And it overheats.....  Apple good bye your becoming worse the Microsoft your just making money out of constant yearly updates/releases of your products, Updates which becoming boring!

    The thing is you pay for a warranty and unless you live close to a Authrorised test centre etc, then it cost you more in time and money for travel!
    I'm really not clear on what you're asking Apple to do.  You don't have to go to an Apple store, you can go to any Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP).  Your warranty is still completely valid.  You can find them here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434
    The title of your thread says Apple support is a waste of time and money.  What would have preferred that they do?  If you are too far from an Apple store or AASP, you can let them know that and they will usually send you out a box so you can ship your machine back to them so they can check it out.  Of course you'll be completely without your machine during that time. 
    You're comment contains quite a bit of bashing for something which Apple will clearly resolve.  Unfortunately, if you live in a remote area where there are no Apple stores or AASPs and you dont' want to send it in, there isn't anything anyone can do to help you.

  • Macbook pro 13" late 2011 stuck up at apple logo and spinning wheel, changed HDD problem still exists

    i have a macbook pro 13' late 2011 unit and its not starting up, found out that the HDD was defective, but when i changed the HDD the problem still exists, what may be the problem?
    thanks

    Have you tried booting into the Recovery HD and running Disk Utility and checking to see if the HD needs repairs?
    Restart holding Command + r and at the recovery screen select Disk Utility. Then select Macintosh HD and click  on 'repair disk'. If anything gets altered click on repair disk again until you get a clean pass. Restart as normal from the Apple menu. More info here about the Recovery HD:
